Why choose a retainer program?

  1. If you know that you will need design services throughout the year, but don't want to hire a full-time designer - my retainer program is for you.

  2. You have peace of mind with a guaranteed amount of work each month.

  3. You pay a set amount each month for the duration of your contract and

    don't have to worry about fluctuating design fees.

  4. You get access to a professional designer without the overhead costs of an

    employee.

How does it work?

A retainer fee is a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service.

Based on the retainer package you select, I will block out my schedule with the appropriate amount of hours each month and plan my workload accordingly. You have peace of mind knowing that you will receive a pre-established amount of work each month, without having to worry about what other client projects are ahead of you! If you’re loyal to us as a client, we’re loyal to you as well.

Website design retainer details

  • 3 month minimum commitment. At the end of 3 months, we will re-evaluate the program to ensure the number of hours are fitting your business needs. After that meeting, we can move to a 6, 9, or 12 month commitment. Depending on the length of the following commitment, a discount in services may be issued.

  • Each retainer includes a set number of hours per week. Overage in hours each week will be billed at the standard hourly rate of $50/hour. Overage hours are to be discussed and cleared by the Website designer and the client prior to beginning overtime work. We only bill for those extra hours if it is quite drastic, and usually don't worry about an extra hour or two. We don't see a reason to edit your invoice unless it’s truly required.

  • Unused hours expire at the end of each week. This is to ensure that we can allocate time for your projects each week and plan my workload accordingly.

  • You will get an invoice on the same date every month. Invoice will include the monthly retainer rate for that month and any additional charges from the previous month.
